Here is a Youtube short that I made about a builder toe nailing the ends of I-joists.

Bad BCI Install

Good catch, make sure your client understands the importance of having that corrected and inspected before drywall is installed.

Builder Engineered Joist Dysfunction

Per the thread title, builders should read the manuals for all kinds of things!

Good catch,…they should put hangers or a ledger under them…or use a sky hook…

The Builder is Westin Homes. They added hangers but they are incorrect. Missing web stiffeners where needed, incorrect size, etc.
